Just stay out of other countries' business

This great nation of ours has since World War II gotten into the habit of telling nations what kind of government they should have. It started with Korea which was purely a civil war. We had an obsession with communism, which nobody seems to know exactly what that means then and now. Nevertheless, it was nobody's business other than the Korean people's. Also the start of tearing apart our Constitution, when President Truman called the Korean conflict a police action and Congress never called it a war.

The men who wrote the Constitution never meant for one man to have such power, knowing from history that it leads to dictatorship. Then we had to get our nose in Vietnam with the same bologna. We spent over a decade in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with no success, in what nobody seems to know what we were trying to achieve, and lately by again putting our nose in none of our business we have upset the whole Middle East.

We got into Iraq by believing our leaders that there were weapons of mass destruction. Most nations have weapons of mass destruction and they have killed hundreds of their own people with these weapons and that Iraq was going to use them on us. So we end up killing by some estimates 100,000 Iraqi people and thousands of United States military and civilian workers. Boy, are we great peace-makers?

In the Constitution, the President was never to start a war or to make a law. He was only to enforce the laws Congress makes. Now our President wants to attack Syria with the claim that the Syrian government used poison gas. He has the upper hand and the support of Russia, Iran and others, and certainly doesn't want to draw the United States into this conflict. On the other hand the rebels would certainly like to get the United States involved on their side, which is more logical. The answer is to stay out of it. We had our civil war some 150 years ago.
